Citi Retail Services, one of North America's largest and most
experienced retail credit solutions providers, and ExxonMobil, the
largest publicly traded international oil and gas company, have
announced a multi-year agreement to renew their consumer and commercial
credit card relationship.

"With a relationship dating back more than a decade, this partnership
continues to provide significant value for ExxonMobil and its
customers,” said Craig Vallorano, Citi Retail Services' Managing
Director for Business Development and Strategy. "This extension deepens
that relationship and we are excited to continue to enhance our program
to deliver against our collective objectives, and drive greater customer
satisfaction.”

“We are committed to offering consumers a broad range of convenient
payment methods, including Exxon and Mobil personal and commercial
credit cards, our Speedpass™ key tag program, the Speedpass+™
app, and ExxonMobil Gift Cards,” said Jan Crowe, director of retail
fuels marketing for ExxonMobil Fuels Lubricants & Specialties Company.
"ExxonMobil’s credit card programs provide many valuable benefits not
only to our cardholders, but to those who own and operate our more than
10,000 Exxon- and Mobil-branded stations in the U.S.”

The agreement with ExxonMobil is the eighth contract renewal Citi Retail
Services has announced since the beginning of 2014. The business, backed
by the global power of Citi, has also announced four new partnerships in
the same timeframe. It provides consumer and commercial credit card
products, both private label and co-branded, to national and regional
retailers and their customers across the U.S. It also provides retail
industry expertise, including transaction data analytics, and fully
integrated marketing and loyalty programs. The business services nearly
90 million accounts for a number of iconic brands, including Best Buy,
Macy's, Sears and The Home Depot.
